Cigarettes going up again March 1.

I read APRIL FIRST when i researched this a few weeks back. give the source for march or you are a liar

I wouldn't worry too much, it could always be worse and you could be paying what us Canadians are paying for smokes.

Come back and whine when you're shelling out over 10 bucks a pack, then we'll talk.

Retailers here are saying March 1st...
increase in TAXES...

Again, Banned smoking is being asked to make up the tax revenue short falls in many states where you cannot smoke in public.

They know that most smokers will bite the butt and not quit smoking.

I look for prostitution to be legal and TAXED in at least a few more states by the end of the year.

Don't forget about weed! I suspect a few other states will start looking into it as well. Vice will save us all!

Here in Washington state it is APRIL FIRST

I assume where it is March 1st
they are just taking advantage charging you but not giving to government

Good! I hate you smokers. Every one of you maggots that throw cigarette butts out the window should have your face sprayed with sulfuric acid. Nothing pisses me off more when a cigarette lands on my windshield from some jerkoff.

My bad. I forgot it's your constitutional right to litter and give others cancer from second hand smoke.

Sorry about the butts on your windscreen, I was trying to get them in your window.
Thats the difference between smokers and non smokers, smokers keep the yucky stuff inside while people like this need to spew disgust on half the population..

fuck you non smokers the cig store said April 1st.

i only throw them in the street now because of all the street sweeping tickets I have to pay. they've obviously volunteered to play trash pickup so who am I to to kill jobs when we need them most?

One who speaks of smokers, while him himself professes to drive a car that pollute even 100 times more than a smoker may in a year.

You sit behind each other at red lights, and stop signs, all the while huffing a colorless, smokeless fume from cars in front of you.

You really have no room to talk, none at all.

Well I am a smoker who will be quitting April 1st. I do not throw cigarette butts anywhere but in an ash tray or in a garbage can after I have stripped it. I learned long ago in Army Basic Training from picking up other peoples butts and through common sense not to litter. I respect other peoples rights and do not smoke around non-smokers. I am a decent person and you my friend are an ignorant asshat.

Alcohol is next to be taxed. They're not going to make that much on smokers. Politicans are too fond of spending someone else's money to stop at smokers. Alcohol next, fat foods after that, overweight people after that, and so on.
There's just no end to what they're going to tax next.

Wow, they really do want to start a black market. It's their call. The underground economy is on the way now!

Thread: RYO Cigarettes........Stop paying out yer nose for smokes

RYO

I took the time to read the tax increases in the SCHIP law and buried way in the back was a mandate for treasury to check in 1 year for any increase in smuggling and evasion... they are anticipating that as well.

This will crash my own personal economy into the red... what essential services will I cut to pay for the new tax? I'm already maxed out as it is.

I regard this law as a very personal kick-in-the-nuts when I'm down. What the f@@k are they thinking?

This is one smoker that USED to be a Democrat. They haven't gotten my vote for several years now because they suckup to tobacco control so badly.

I'd like to see the health care issue dealt with but not like this.

Cancer cures smoking

the largest tax increase is with RYO tobacco, so your post doesnt help.
